Although a woman today may have
similar talents and abilities as any man who is a preacher or elder, that does not invalidate the fact that God has said that the role of a woman is to be a submissive one, especially in
the marriage relationship and in the public worship of the church.
1 Timothy 2:11-14 |
Let a woman learn in silence with
all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. |
Ephesians 5:22,23 |
Wives, submit to your own
husbands , as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. |
Colossians 3:18 |
Wives, submit to your own
husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
1 Corinthians 11:3 |
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. (KJV) |
1 Corinthians 14:34,35 |
Let your women keep silent in the
churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but
they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if
they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands
at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in
church. |
